Are you hiding or showing extra line breaks? it should say in the info
bar of a message.

Thanks for the reply. I forgot to mention that I have it to always show line
breaks.

I've just composed a new email - comes up as plain text by default as I
changed the default option.

If I type some characters and press enter I get the extra line spacing.
However, If I hold down the shift key and press enter i don't get the line
spacing. Its what I'd expect when creating an HTML email etc by creating a
new paragraph by hiting enter. So its almost as if outlook is treating the
end of each line of text as a new paragraph.
